Optimal protocol: how to increase specificity and when to use extra sequences?
Lil-Sofie Ording Müller, Oslo / Norway
- To learn about the basic imaging protocol for bone-marrow imaging with a focus on whole-body MRI.
- To describe the most relevant additional MRI sequences in equivocal bone marrow findings.
- To discuss when and how to apply extra sequences in bone marrow imaging.

Laura Tanturri De Horatio, Roma / Italy
- To illustrate the bone marrow findings, which have no alarm features.
